Supreme Protein Carb Conscious Bar 86-96 gram-Box of 12

Supreme Protein Carb Conscious Bar 86-96 gram-Box of 12 is listed in the following categories:

Protein & Energy Bars
While eating six to eight meals a day may seem like a luxury to some, most bodybuilders find it a chore. And trying to fuel up while on the go? Even tougher. But when you’re including protein and energy bars in the equation, you’ll praise their convenience as well as their nutritional value. Since bars are built to meet specific needs—from low calorie and low carb to high-calorie meal-replacement-esque varieties— the Protein & Energy Bars category of supplements offers a vast selection. Don’t be fooled by the name of this category; protein bars—such as Supreme Protein’s Supreme bar, VPX’s Zero Impact mealbar and Universal’s Animal Snak—typically contain nutrients beyond protein, such as carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. The biggest advances in the protein bar category involve the quality of the protein itself and the flavor. Just be sure to read the labels carefully, as some manufacturers add a hefty dose of sugar to sweeten the chances of you choosing their candybar-like product. So don’t let your hectic day get in the way of your body’s constant need for nutrients. Keep a protein bar on-hand for a quick pick-me-up in between meals or as a way to get more of this precious muscle-building macronutrient into your diet.

Functional Foods
Functional foods are just what they sound like: targeted nutrition that bodybuilders can use for very specific health, digestive, and supplemental functions. Some are wide-spectrum meal replacements such as ProSource’s NutriPure Supreme and Lean Body. Some are healthy on-the-go snacks like protein RTDs, beef snacks, or protein bars. Other functional foods serve even more specific goals such as fiber supplements, healthy fats for energy, peanut butter, and more. If you’re looking for a supplement alternative that doesn’t quite fit the main categories, you’re likely to find it here!

Protein Snacks
It’s every bodybuilder’s dilemma. How do you consume enough protein to reach that 1g to 1.5 gram per kilogram of bodyweight standard? After the chicken and the fish and the beef and the protein shakes, it’s time for a protein snack. Fortunately, protein snacks come in a wide variety of meal sources—from bars to breakfast cereals to puddings, “protein shots” and wafers. Whatever your supplement preference, there’s a protein snack to suit your taste buds.

Mass and Strength Builders
For bodybuilders looking to add serious size to their frame—in the form of lean muscle, of course, while minimizing fat gains—or any athlete looking to bulk up muscle mass, the popular solution is Mass Building supplements. These products are specifically formulated to help you pack on pounds of lean mass, which is why the mass-building category is one of the most crowded and fiercely competitive of all in today’s sports supplement marketplace. When you think mass building, you probably think of creatine, a natural derivate of an amino acid produced in the body that supplies energy to muscles. Supplementing with creatine products—such as MHP’s Dark Matter, BioQuest’s MyoZene or ProSource’s SynthaTrex Xtreme—helps you train harder before fatigue sets in while also hydrating muscle cells. Aside from creatine, mass-building products often contain additional branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), such as glutamine, beta alanine, taurine, tyrosine, tryptophan and leucine. Formulas for various fitness goals exist, including sugar-free to help keep your carb intake low or the inclusion of protein, carbohydrates, fat and electrolytes to make up an all-in-one powerhouse product. If your pursuit for more muscle seems never-ending, this mass-building supplement category is the answer you’ve been looking for.

Meal Replacements
The key to mass and strength gains is sustained nutrition throughout the day to prevent catabolic muscle loss. In the case of bodybuilders, that means six to eight small meals throughout the day. Now, unless you have a personal chef on hand, that’s a tall order for most of us. And that’s why Meal Replacements are so popular—you can ingest a full meal’s dose of protein, carbs and fats in just minutes, and get on with your day. All of the best meal replacements—including Labrada’s Lean Body, EAS’s Myoplex Original, ProSource’s NutriPure Supreme, and the one that started it all, Met-Rx Original—provide plenty of nutritional “bang for your buck.” Whey protein isolate is, of course, the most common form of protein found in most meal replacement formulas, thanks to its low lactose and fat content, fast-acting nature to quickly nourish muscles and its delivery of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). The carbohydrate blends included in these formulas consist of oats, barley, oat fiber and/or rice bran to help support energy levels and enhance satiety. The third piece of the equation, fats, can be derived from high-oleic sunflower oil, CLA, flaxseed, evening primrose oil or borage oil. Many formulas typically include a few extras, such as vitamins, minerals and even probiotics to help maintain normal intestinal microflora. And the best news is that today’s shakes also taste great, so there’s no need to choose between great taste and wide-spectrum nutrition.
